So far many of my animations [ three out of FIVE! O: ] have been head cannon things. Weeeeeiiird...
Yes, ALL the drawing is bad and I apologise. I just wanted to get the story across before season 4 ruins ALL the head cannon forever.

Basically, a good nine days before my birthday (and my chemistry exam) last year, my mind was full of Children of the Night. A good many months before that, my mind was full of this beautiful song after I had heard it during The Battle For The Undercity (one of the greatest quests ever) - let's just say I've always wished I could jump into the world of Warcraft (lolpuns) and be best friends with Sylvanas since WC3. I looked for a translation of the song and, as it turned out, it was appropriate enough for this context (sort of...) And that is why I've had such a desperate urge to make this.
(I kinda feel like Sylvanas and Luna have a lot in common but maybe that's just me)

Side note time~
1) Don't judge my amazing backgrounds. It's not easy being SO GOOD at drawing [especially when you can't think of what the backgrounds should look like T_T]

2) This will not be completed any time soon. As I said before, I just uploaded this rough plan least season 4 should come and I'm left in the dust of show cannon. Only once I can animate properly and can find my own style of pones will I even attempt to work some magics. (I'm hoping for the pones to look something like Celestia at 2:07-2:09 or 2:27-2:30 itsactuallythesamebasicposebutwhateveridowhatiwant)

3) She's pink because yolo! (  and because of this http://rebeccahains.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/screen-shot-2012-01-16-at-9-56-42-am.png  and her going from this http://images.wikia.com/mlp/images/5/51/Storybook_Nightmare_Moon_defeated_S01E01.png to http://images.wikia.com/mlp/images/f/fc/Storybook_Celestia_taking_on_responsibility_S01E01.png  ) It's MY head cannon! ALL MINE!

'Loose Translation' of the song for anyone who's interested:

By the light, by the light of the sun
Children of the blood
Our enemies are breaking through
Children of the blood
By the light
Failing children of the blood
They are breaking through
O' children of the blood
By the light of the sun
Failing children of the blood
They are breaking through
O' children of the blood
By the light of the sun
The sun
